Predictably, The King’s Speech took practically all, and the only TRULY memorable event of the night occurred when the above Melissa Leo dropped the f-bomb during her acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actress, but on the whole, it was a good, good show. The fashion was on par – wicked photo galleries to come – and the best movies won, so hey. It was a success. And congratulations, Melissa Leo, for being the first individual in Oscar history to be so overt and genuine in your excitement that you dropped said f-bomb. Oh, and did you guys notice that Anne Hathaway and James Franco were the show’s hosts? Because they were pretty forgettable, if you ask me.

Huh – a Danish movie was nominated for and won an Oscar? I feel like I should have known this, being Danish and all.
Actually Sarah, Michele Leo was not the first in oscar history. it’s funny you say that since they specifically showed a clip from 1996 Oscars where Cuba Gooding Jr. is absolutely ecstatic! Sarah, please atleast pay attention during the show before you make stupid comments. Michele Leo acted like an idiot in my opinion. Also, Anne Hathaway’s comment about drinking before she left was so awkward! She was just weird.
I think you mean ‘Melissa Leo.’
oops, I didn’t mean to do that. I didn’t really even know who she was till last night. I didn’t see her movie or remember her from anywhere. But yeah, messed up her name, but my statement still stands.
